Hope a great Thanksgiving week-end was enjoyed by all!
Friday October 7th was EAHR's inaugural Speaker Series event. The afternoon began with a group visit of the Mois de la Photo exhibit art Arsenal, afterwards we headed over to Griffintown Café for what turned out to be a fun, informative and candid discussion led by Michael Rattray, PhD Candidate in Art History at Concordia University, on globalization and its impact on various tiers of contemporary art and participants of the visual arts.
Michael Rattray is a PhD student in the Interuniversity Doctoral Program in Art History at Concordia University. He holds a BA Honours degree in Art History from the University of Victoria, completing his studies in May 2006, and an MA in Art History from Concordia University, completed in September 2008. His MA thesis focuses in on a selection of exhibitions from "The Post-Colonial Landscape Project", an exhibition program from the mid-1990s that explored concepts of national identity and sovereignty in relation to the local and the global. Current research interests are directed towards critical-arts practices and discourse that operate within the global and intersect the new-modern as a contingent application of functional anarchism(s). Rattray maintains an active inter-arts practice, his work has been exhibited within Canada and published internationally.
... Stay tuned for details on our next EAHR Speaker Series on Wednesday November 9th, 2011!
Cheers!
Adrienne & Sally.
